NS display messed up MSIE ok
Aloha. I have the results of my "list all" in a single row but the display in Netscapte is messed up but MSIE is ok. I know that NS handles tables differently than MSIE and wonder if there is a way around the problem. see it at:

Never mind.... I figured it out. You have to put a <form></form> with NS but not necessary with MSIE. thanks Francis

But while we are on the subject, how would I get the list-all to display and not put a space between the result tables as it does in the URL below: http://www.vina.org/database/db.cgi?db=default&uid=&view_records=1&ID=*

I had a look at your page and I was just wondering if you intended on keeping your view records as input fields. It may be a good idea to change it from lets say:

<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="" VALUE="$rec{'title'}" SIZE="30" MAXLENGTH="125">

So it may be a good idea to just use $rec{'title'}, $rec{'date'} by themselves instead of having an input -- this will make things look a bit cleaner and easier to work with.

I had a look at your code and the reason why you have spaces between each entry is because you have <form></form> at the beginning and end of your tables. I you have a single form on your page, you only need <form></form> once.

So save on load time, why not have 1 big table instead of tons of little ones? Something like:

<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2>
<tr><td valign=top bgcolor="#ddffCC">
date field</td><td>title field</td> etc, etc.

Just an idea.
